For readers up to 7 and animal lovers of all ages, this second book about the young orangutan Suryia and his animal friends—following Suryia & Roscoe—returns to the T.I.G.E.R.S. wildlife preserve (The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species) in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. With the guidance of his human friend Moksha, Suryia becomes accustomed to the big pool on the preserve—where elephants, tigers, otters, and other water-loving creatures have their swims—and gradually takes to swimming like any enthusiastic youngster at the pool. Barry Bland's underwater photography is excellent, and it's worth the price of the book just to see Suryia cradling a soaking wet tiger cub.
